A/N:

Hello, again!

Vic and I have been writing some SNK stuff for a while now, and we both decided that it was time to do something with it. So this is going to be a collection of all our works, from poems, to one-shots, and some songfics here and there. This should be updated fairly quickly (since we have a buffer, possibly twice a week?), so keep an eye out!

Also: along with the work, the title, corresponding character, and author (either Victoria or myself) will be listed.

Enjoy!

Tainted Innocence - Erwin

By: Victoria


They still possessed innocence.

Their eyes still had a shine, a sparkle.

It pains me, to the core. I have to use children as tools.

Children.

They didn't deserve this. They didn't deserve to have their lives taken away.

Their imagination, their happiness,

Their childhood.

They shouldn't have to go through what I went through.

I endured the entire process to prevent them from going through it.

But here they stand, and it is not my decision to make whether they remain or leave.

And that's what makes the entire situation so damn frustrating.

Eager and ready,

They stood looking as if they would save the world on their own.

Of course, there are always a few in the group who know.

Who know that despite everything that's said, there is absolutely no chance of them surviving this entire ordeal without harm - mental, physical, any kind of harm.

Those are the ones I didn't like to be around.

They knew that it was my fault.

It was me making the decisions and controlling their lives, or sending them off to lose the life they had.

The guilt is unbearable, but it's even worse around them.
